Summary
The board adopted FY2025 general and other‑fund budget amendments, approved a library code amendment changing trustee meeting requirements, and adopted a resolution setting 2026 qualifying fees for county offices under OCGA 21‑2‑131.
During the Jan. 13 meeting the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners adopted several fiscal and regulatory actions.
Finance Director Amanda Doss presented a FY2025 general fund budget amendment (Resolution 2026.01.13.02) that increases approved revenues by $2,802,035 for amended FY2025 revenues of $11,156,811, and described line‑by‑line expense adjustments (the board suspended detailed reading and approved the amendment by voice vote). The board also adopted a separate resolution (2026.01.13.03) amending other fund budgets for FY2025; details for both amendments were placed on file for public inspection.
On ordinance matters, the county attorney conducted a second reading and the board adopted an amendment to county code Section 42‑57 governing library trustee meeting frequency and removal for consecutive absences (the code will require not fewer than four regular meetings each calendar year on the second Tuesday in Feb., May, Aug., and Nov.; trustees who miss two consecutive meetings may be removed pursuant to the library system constitution and bylaws).
Clerk McKellar presented Resolution 2026.01.13.01, setting qualifying fees for 2026 county elections in accordance with OCGA 21‑2‑131; the board adopted the resolution by voice vote and set fees as presented for commissioner and board of education seats up for election.
